Bobby Connor Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 To think I was beginning to grow some respect (no pun intended) for this guy. His RT programme Sputnik offers a very welcome alternative view of the world to what you get on the BBC and he is obviously very clued up about the Israel v Palestinians conflict and speaks passionately about it. Despite all of that, whilst I was warming to him, there was that memory so cringeworthy that I could not bury. He licked milk out of a cat bowl whilst pretending to be a cat on big brother and even made meow noises. I was correct to be concerned about the character of this man. He is an egomaniac. He will settle for any platform where he gets to spout off regardless. His performance yesterday was that of a clown. He stated that the UK "stood alone" in the Second World War. I would love to know if his employers, Russia Today were watching that? He is an enormous hypocrite who has lost his credibility once and for all. 7 Link to comment

NorthernLights24 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 “The Irish people were denied their right to unity and independence. The Scottish people never have been, and could have voted for independence at any time that they liked in the whole era of universal suffrage of nearly 100 years.” A recent quote from the fud.

Ke1t Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Lost all respect for him when he came out as a NO supporter. You can live and work thousands of miles from your country of origin, but still have a place in your heart that knows it will always be your true home. He just lives and works down the fucking road from Scotland, and he's already sold Scotland out in case he upsets his English constituents, the cunt. With any luck some John Wayne tit of a customs officer will shoot the fucker for a terrorist suspect the very next time he lands at JFK. Cunt of a man. 1 Link to comment

I would love to know if his employers, Russia Today were watching that? He is an enormous hypocrite who has lost his credibility once and for all. George Galloway, while an entertaining fud, is still a Grade A fud. A dangerous narcissist at that. Pick a conflict anywhere in the world and it is a stick-on that he comes down on the side opposed to the "system". He is the perennial protest voter, knowing full well that in doing so he becomes a caricature/poster-boy and maximises exposure for himself. While that permanent opposition occasionally endears him to the "good" side (his opposition to Israel, for instance) it also makes him look like an idiot (his Communist leanings and admiration for "the Stalinist left") and in some cases a complete hypocrite. In the case of the latter, consider the following: He champions independence and self-determination for Palestine (rightly so) but recoils in horror at the very mention of his own country taking that route? He cosies up to every Communist and Middle Eastern dictator under the sun, yet claims to be "democratic"? He whinges about British imperialism, its poisonous foreign policy and has joined in blockades at Faslane, yet he demands we stay shackled to that very same Union? He refuses to partake in (and has walked out of) debates with Israelis and their apologists (understandable) but is now in bed with Jim Murphy, the ultra-Zionist MP and lobbyist for Friends of Israel 5 Link to comment

I would love to know if his employers, Russia Today were watching that? He is an enormous hypocrite who has lost his credibility once and for all. We did stand alone against the Nazis. The Frogs surrendered on 22 June 1940 and the Soviet Union did not find itself at war with Germany until 22 June 1941, when the Nazis unleashed Operation Barbarossa. So, for a whole year during WW2, the UK was indeed the sole opponent of Nazi Germany*. We cant help if it various others eventually piled on, in order to snatch a hollow share of our impending glorious victory. [*both sides obviously had other territories involved at this stage - eg Australia (UK) and Austria (Germany)] In this "lone" period, we won the Battle of Britain versus the Luftwaffe, and were also heavily engaged against the Kriegsmarine in the Battle of the Atlantic. Additionally, 1940 saw the start of regular British Commando raids against Nazi Occupied Territories (eg Norway and France), ranging in strength from as little as a single platoon, to up to several battalions. Edit - I dont have much time for Galloways socialism or islamism, but I think hes alright. Entertaining company over a pint Id say. 3 Link to comment

Entertaining company over a pint Id say.The process of Australia gaining independence from Britain was a gradual one, beginning with Federation, when the six states came together as one federated nation, under an Australian Prime Minister. This occurred on 1 January 1901 and gave Australia the right to govern itself. Australia gained the status of a Dominion, which meant it remained a self-governing colony within the British Empire, with the Head of State being the British monarch. The British government appointed Australia's Governor-General and State Governors, who answered to the British government. All Dominions within the British Empire were declared "equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown, and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations" at the Imperial Conference of 1926. The Statute of Westminster 1931 ratified the discussions of the Imperial Conference. This meant that Australia and other Dominions such as South Africa, New Zealand and Canada could now conduct treaties and agreements with foreign powers, and manage their own military strategies. No longer were the Australian Governor-General, Parliament and individual governors answerable to the UK. The British monarch could only act on the advice of the Australian Government, and the Governor-General was no longer appointed by and answerable to the British monarch. Link to comment

Galloway invoked Godwin's Law (the pre-recorded nature of the show gave the BBC ample chance to edit his "Nazis" jibe - and the boos the NO side got from the crowd) as he had no positive case for the Union. More tellingly, he is a self-confessed Communist, the most murderous ideology in history and whose body count dwarfed Nazism and Fascism combined. He has no right to take any moral high ground here. His views on sexual etiquette (and women in general) also leave a lot to be desired. Link to comment

Clydeside_Sheep Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Aye it was a World War but it was the good old Brits wot won it... We British stopped the Nazis winning at a crucial juncture. Had we fallen, or jacked it in, American would have had little inclination, or easy means, to enter the european war and the Germans would have dominated the whole continent. Maybe that situation would have convinced Franco to enter on the Axis side. The Germans, then able to face the Sovs on a single front, could well have beaten them in that scenario (no guarantees). Indeed, Soviet determination would have been much less had they not had the UK (and later US) as allies, or as suppliers of arms. Ultimately what won the war was American Industry and Soviet manpower. But we did our bit alright! (unlike the Frogs and others). Link to comment

I don't quite see how WW2 is grounds for a NO vote... the Commonwealth nations contributed massively to the "war effort"... are their contributions any less because they are independent nations? As for the overall picture... the USSR murdered over 20m Russians and Eastern Europeans, far more than Nazism and Fascism combined. That is a fact that no credible historian would dare challenge. So ultimately we brought down one set of tyrants (Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito) by allying with even bigger tyrants (Stalin and the Judeo-Bolsheviks) and have been globalist America's lapdog ever since. In otherwords, a mess in which no side can claim moral high ground. Galloway is a muppet. Link to comment

Canada entered the war on September 10. Britain and France, honouring their pledge to Poland, declared war on Germany on September 3. Although not automatically committed by Britain's declaration of war, as in 1914, there was little doubt that Canada would quickly follow. On September 7 Parliament met in special session; on September 9 it approved support to Britain and France; on September 10 King George VI announced that Canada had declared war. Link to comment

(unlike the Frogs and others).Never forget that in 'capitulating' to Germany in 1940, over 100,000 French soldiers sacrificed themselves so that the Dunkirk evacuation could proceed. An episode routinely and disgracefully overlooked in the usual British cliches about surrendering Frogs etc. Poor bastards basically formed a defensive cordon around Dunkirk and fought the Germans to a standstill, ensuring that the British Army on the beach was left relatively untouched. Granted many of those French soldiers would have died anyway, with their country overrun by an occupying power, but we should still show respect. 3 Link to comment
fifered Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 There was a thread on here a few years back about Galloway with many people waxing lyrical about him. He's always been a disgusting individual and is showing his true colours in this debate. His performance last night had some merit though, it pushed my wife pretty much over the edge as a yes.
